“We’re pleased that Cheesecake Factory is going to join us at Queens Center,” said John Scaturro, Senior Manager of Marketing at Queens Center Mall. “They’re going to be able to provide a nice new dining alternative for our community.”

The plans have not yet been finalized, as a representative from The Cheesecake Factory will be appearing before the local community board to discuss them. It’s estimated that the restaurant will have seats for 180 patrons inside and an additional 48 seats outside.

The Cheesecake Factory said it anticipates a winter opening but no further information was given.
